Song: "Walk it Out"

Artist: DJ Unk

Now walk it out
Now walk it out
Now walk it out
Now walk it out
Now walk it out
Now walk it out
Now walk it out
Now walk it out

R-side walk it out
S-side walk it out
R-side walk it out
S-side walk it out

Now hit the chiral center
Now bend to the number four
You have to point with your hand
Now close 1,2,3
I'm ranking substituents now
Hydrogen's in trouble, yo. (because it's going to be #4)
I like the way we move around
Trying to find the number 1
Now everybody's learning
How to find R and S.
Now go and name that carbon chain.
I see Oxygen around.
It's probably number 1.
The 2 carbons ain't twins.
Out of the 2, one has to win.
So I gotta walk it out.
It's on once again.
Fattest carbon wins #2 again.
The other carbon is #3.
The hydrogen goes to #4.

R and S walk it out.
R and S walk it out.
R and S walk it out.
R and S walk it out.

Ok now do it now we show you and walk it out
Ok now do it now we show you and walk it out
Ok now do it now we show you and walk it out
Ok now do it now we show you and walk it out
